CM KCR Convenes An Emergency Meeting.

An emergency meeting convened by CM KCR at his farmhouse in Erravelli on the city outskirts on Saturday created a lot of buzz in political, bureaucratic, and media circles.

For the first time, the CM had convened a meeting of this scale with ministers and officials at his farmhouse. Usually, these meetings are called at Pragati Bhavan, the official residence-cum-camp office, at Begumpet. Besides, the meeting was called at short notice, at 10 am for the 1 pm meeting.

The meeting lasted for 3 hours. It all died down at about 5 pm when the CMOs said the meeting was meant to discuss the relaunch of the paddy procurement agitation. Poll strategist Prashant Kishor had submitted a report to the Rao stating that the performance of 40 % of TRS MLAs, including ministers was 'unsatisfactory' and that they should be replaced. It is also rumored that all top officials and all TRS leaders were called in because there were complaints of poor delivery of welfare schemes leading to anger among people.
